'Killer' - Acrylic paint on canvas. A3.

This painting depicts a killer whale with a collapsed fin, set against a vibrant and colourful background. The stark contrast between the bright hues and the sombre subject in the centre symbolizes the cruelty behind keeping orcas in captivity, masked by the dazzling performances put on by organizations like SeaWorld.

Inspired by the tragic story of Tilikum, a wild orca captured and eventually sold to SeaWorld, this piece aims to spread awareness about the inhumane treatment these majestic creatures endure. Tilikum's confinement and the harsh conditions he faced led to multiple tragic incidents, including the deaths of his trainers.

Through "Killer" I hope to draw attention to the need for change and to advocate for the freedom of orcas and other marine animals held in captivity. The colourful background serves as a reminder of the deceptive façade of entertainment, urging viewers to look beyond the surface and recognize the pain and suffering behind the spectacle.
